Our commitment to diversity
At Crown Castle, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards and integrity. It’s part of our guiding principles and the basis on which we interact with our customers, suppliers, shareholders, and fellow employees.
To make a positive difference in the communities where we serve, we work hard to ensure our own foundation is continually strengthened. That’s why diversity is such a key component of our business. We believe that partnering with minority-, women-, and disabled-owned businesses gives us a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and is essential to the strength of both our supply chain and our business.

Building the foundation
Mobile technology is everywhere.
It’s become an inseparable part of
our lives. As the nation’s largest
provider of shared wireless
infrastructure, we’re building the
foundation that enables our
customers to keep expanding
and improving their networks.
The people who make it possible
include our 2,300 employees in
offices throughout the country,
whose high standards and
dedication to service set the
standard in the industry. But
we can’t do it alone. We rely
on a network of suppliers and
contractors who share our
values and standards, and who
can assist us in delivering the
best results for our customers.
